BLOG: October Comeback
Hello! I’ve been MIA, and I apologize for it. The past couple of months have presented some health challenges, including gastrointestinal issues, extra depression, PTSD episodes, and my usual collection of chronic ails giving me grief.

On The Question Of China and Socialism In 2020
I’m writing this not simply for the purposes of others reading it, but also, to record where I am at in my understanding on the matter of China and Socialism. I live in the US, as I have my entire my life, and while as a white woman, I have spent a good part of…
